LPR
Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) status is not a legal right but a revocable privilege, which means that an alien may lose his/her LPR status even after he/she has already received a Green Card. Although he/she is an LPR, he/she remains an "alien." It is therefore possible for him/her to lose LPR status under certain extreme circumstances.
